The Lincoln Futura is a concept car promoted by Ford's Lincoln brand, designed by Ford's lead stylists Bill Schmidt and John Najjar,[2][3] and hand-built by Ghia in Turin, Italy — at a cost of $250,000 (equivalent to $2,800,000 in 2024).

Displayed on the auto show circuit in 1955, the Futura was modified by George Barris into the Batmobile, for the 1966 TV series Batman.
